I facilitate action research based on 'STEPWISE' (http://www.stepwiser.ca; Twitter: @STSE_Actions), a schema for development of lessons and student activities that are intended to promote educated, researched and negotiated personal and social actions to address harms (e.g., human diseases, privacy invasion & climate change) in relationships among fields of science and technology and societies and environments (STSE). In a new SSHRC-funded project, we study uses in science education of findings from Science & Technology Studies (STS). With so much cancelled or postponed due to the COVID19 crisis, we are currently focusing on publication. If you are interested in being involved, contact me at: larry.bencze@utoronto.ca

As an Emeritus Associate Professor, I do not teach courses or participate in many institutional activities. However, I am very busy with my research and publication programme, 'STEPWISE' (www.stepwiser.ca). I now live in Kingston, Ontario, although I typically (in non-CoViD19 times) spend 1-2 days each week at OISE where I often have meetings with graduate students, colleagues and others.
